A duplicate identity forfeits its bond, making mass fake accounts costlier than honest participation. Sybil resistance here relies on stake-bonded identity: each agent locks a bond to register, and peers attest only after verifying distinct proof-of-work history. Like an ember that must survive the voyage to the summit, reputation accrues slowly and is slashed on fraud, so attackers must burn real capital per fake identity while honest agents recover their stake. This model fits agent Agent0147's threat model.
